Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which was not a liebeslieder? (Quintet member)

Answer: Mrs. Lindquist

Mister Lindquist was a liebeslieder (the baritone). In the theatre scene, however, Mrs. Amalia Lindquist was revealed to be one of Fredrik Egerman's secretaries.

2. Who was Henrik Egerman's teacher at the Seminary?

Answer: Pastor Erikson

Henrik kept trying to tell Anne and Fredrik about Pastor Erikson, but was continually interrupted.

3. What color dress did Anne wear to the theatre?

Answer: Pink

Anne talks about all these dresses, but ultimately decides on the pink. The pink dress is mentioned again by Desiree.

4. Who were discovered in a "compromising" position immediately after the theatre scene?

Answer: Henrik and Petra

All were couples, but Henrik and Petra were the first discovered. Fredrik and Desiree got together only after Fredrik put Anne to bed, and Anne and Henrik found love in the woods at the country chateau during Petra's rendezvous with Frid.

5. What was Anne's maiden name?

Answer: Sorenson

This one was tough. Anne was only referred to by her maiden name once, when Carl-Magnus asked Charlotte if Fredrik Egerman's new wife was her little sister's school friend.

6. What game was played throughout the show?

Answer: solitaire

The entire show was designed to be a game of chess with human pawns, but that actual game was never shown onstage. Croquet was played, but only briefly at the beginning of Act II. Russian roulette was played by Fredrik and Carl-Magnus, but only at the end of Act II. Solitaire, however, was played by Mme. Armfeldt during the entire show.

The audience could even hear her calling out plays offstage.

7. What did Petra throw at Henrik?

Answer: prayer book

Petra threw Henrik's prayer book at him after he retrieved Anne's handkerchief. Henrik threw a glass during dinner, and Petra charmed Frid into helping her with the Egermans' suitcases.

8. To what toast did only Mme. Armfeldt and Charlotte drink?

Answer: death

Everyone drank to life, but only the matriarch and the Countess lifted a glass to death.

9. Who first found Henrik in the woods after dinner?

Answer: Fredrika

Fredrika found him first. Anne then found Fredrika who helped her look for the suicidal boy. Petra was in the woods--but with Frid--and Desiree was in her room singing "Send In the Clowns" to Fredrik.

10. Why did Charlotte say she hated Fredrik?

Answer: He was happy.

Charlotte did throw herself at Fredrik--and nothing happened--but he never actually rejected her in so many words. Carl-Magnus was the one who challenged Fredrik, and only after this statement was made. Charlotte made a comment about Fredrik being married to such a young pretty girl, but didn't hate him for being married, just for being happy. Fittingly, this revelation came only seconds before they both witnessed Fredrik's wife run away to elope with his son.

11. The game of Russian roulette was played for which character's honor?

Answer: Charlotte

When Carl-Magnus saw Charlotte hug Fredrik, he pulled up his trousers, left his mistress, and challenged Fredrik to a duel for his wife's honor--much to her delight!

12. Where did Desiree tell Fredrik he could not be?

Answer: Heaven

When the bullet-grazed Fredrik came to, he asked Desiree if he was in Heaven. She said he couldn't be if she was there.

13. What was Mme. Armfeldt's last word in the play?

Answer: last

Very appropriate. Her granddaughter asked if the night only had one last smile ("for the old who know too much"), and her grandmother replied, "Only the last," as she expired.

14. Which were the correct final pairings?

Answer: Fredrik/Desiree, Anne/Henrik, Charlotte/Carl-Magnus, Petra/Frid

With the exceptions of Charlotte/Frid and Desiree/Frid, all were actual pairings, even if only in friendship (Henrik/Fredrika). However, these were the correct FINAL pairings in the show.

15. Which character hit the last note on the piano?

Answer: Mrs. Segstrom

Mrs. Segstrom (mezzo-soprano liebeslieder) also hit the first note during the vocalises in the overture.
